This weeks blog challenge was to visit each others shops in search of Red items and some really cute things were found!

I chose the color Red because of the beautiful changing leaves here in New England, but then I realized how the color Red follows us through the entire year - the Red leaves of Autumn turn into Red Christmas ornaments decorating our trees, then come the Valentines Day hearts in February and the Red stripes of the American Flag at Memorial Day and 4th of July celebrations which leads us right back into Autumn and the changing leaves. See what I mean:)

View all the beautiful Red products by clicking on the NECTAR Challenges page.

This week I would like to introduce to you NECTAR Team leader, Khristen Foss. Khristen shares her story as well as some selling tips.

Hello! My name is Khristen Foss, mother to three crazy kids (Andraia, 12; Rileigh, 10; and Patryk, 4) and wife to my amazingly supportive husband, Eryk. We live in East Rochester, NH, right on the border of Maine, in the seacoast of NH. I grew up here, residing in the Lakes Region of NH for my formative years. It is so beautiful here, with sources of natural inspiration all around me. Whether it's lakes, mountains, or beaches, we have a little of everything only a short drive away!

Each week a member of the NECTAR Team will share his or her story - a little personal history as well as "tips of the trade". This weeks feature Team member is the captain, Alura of MoonspellCrafts - here is her story -

My name is Alura and I grew up on Long Island. I have lived in Florida, Texas, Colorado, England, Greece, Quebec and now, Vermont. I guess I am well traveled...lol.

I am currently married to a wonderful man from QC and between us, we have 5 grown children - he has 2 girls and I have 2 girls and a boy. We are lucky to have met at our age. We live in Derby Line/Stanstead. Our apartment is situated on the border! Literally!! It is a lovely area, very antiquated in architecture and it suits the eye we have for antiques.

Welcome everyone to our new NECTAR Etsy blog - the place to come to find out about upcoming Team events, showcase your NECTAR products, and the place for all the latest news from other NECTAR Team members.

The goal here at NECTAR Etsy is to host a blog that makes you want to grab yourself a cup of coffee and see the "goings on" amongst your Team of New England crafters.

Good Morning, NECTAR teammates! I have awakened to bright sunshine and have lots planned for my day.

First on my to-do list is updating everyone on the progress of NECTAR's No Child Goes Unbundled Project. Thirty (30) NECTAR Team members have risen to the challenge of knitting and crocheting Hats, Mittens, and Scarves for children in need across New England. Once collected, these warm and snuggly cold weather accessories will be sent to the New England United Way head office in Boston for distribution.

Primitive Paper Designs

"kimberleeannkreations" products are aged for that perfect primitive look; stitch marks make each piece appear quilted together; coffee-stained and rusty embelishments are used; and a subtle touch of glitter makes each piece sparkle!
